Glenda Kirkpatrick Obituary
August 29, 1939 - June 17, 2019
I was born August 29, 1939, at Mary Secor Hospital in Emmett, Idaho to Glenn Schiller and Elda Beers Schiller. I have lived my whole 79 years in Emmett and I thank God for that. I attended Central Mesa School, Wardwell, and Emmett Jr. and Sr. High School graduating in 1957. Upon graduation I went to work as a secretary to Kenneth Carberry, then Superintendent of Schools. After four years, I became secretary at Parkview Jr. High for 33 Years. The last 6 years I was Emmett High School secretary. I loved working in the school system, the teachers and the students were great. I was always happy to go work. I am a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and retired Educators.
My heartfelt thanks to all the people who have called, sent flowers, came for visits, and sent prayers. Also, to the Doctors and staff who have cared for me.
Also I care deeply for my classmates and so appreciate their attending our lunches, and reunions.
I am survived by my dear husband Mick of 60 years, my daughter Kristi (Locke) Nuttall, my grandchildren, McKenna, Kaileigh, Aaron (Kelly) Nuttall, Alex Nuttall, my brother Glenn Schiller, numerous cousins, sisters and brother- in- law Irma Pook, Janie Mitchell, Larry and Hazel Gorino, and my faithful friend and companion, Mollie.
Glenda passed away June 17, 2019. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Monday, June 24th at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Emmett. Under the direction of the Potter Funeral Chapel in Emmett.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Emmett High School Alumni Association, Cat's Meow Inc. at Flowerland Floral, MSTI of Fruitland, or Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Emmett.

My prayers are with Mick and their family. Mollie must be missing Glenda.
I regard it as a precious gift that I was very close to Glenda. She was very responsible and discreet. She was a lady, and a friend and a sister to every one. I, truly, never heard Glenda utter a negative commentary about any person. She was an exemplary Catholic.
I visited her during her last years many times. We openly talked about the joy of living and also the mystery of dying. She was ready to meet her death. I knew of her critical condition, still her death fills me with grief, even if I know that I now have a close friend in heaven.
Once I asked Glenda if the color of her beautiful hair was 'real' or 'touched up.' She said: "100% real." Indeed, as real as Glenda was 100% real.
Thank you God for having created Glenda.

My love, prayers, and empathetic condolences are offered to Mick, Kristi, and the all of you who are Glenda's family and loved ones.
Glenda was always a LADY with extra emphasis on all of the lovely qualities that word entails. She handled more than her share during her years in the Emmett School District's employment and did it with such finesse that they had to hire two women to replace her.
I will always appreciate my time working with her and the friendship we shared over the words. I couldn't come in to the Jr. High office without receiving a smile and a kind word from Glenda. I cannot adequately express how much her caring and compassion has meant. She was a treasure! I will always remember her as such.
May God's comfort reach each of your hearts as you work through this time of loss and may the memories of the times you've shared with each other bring you smiles and moments of joy.
Love and Prayers, Noreen Beesley

I remember Glenda and Mick as two of the most influential people of my growing-up years in Emmett. Their kindness, hospitality, and genuine interest for me was encouragement needed for my success in life.

It is with heartfelt sympathy I send my condolences to Mick, Kristi and family. Glenda was truly one of the kindest women I have ever known. She was wonderful to me and I have fond memories of spending time with her and the Kirkpatrick family as a child. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
